Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of coatings, and in particular to a production process of an economical solvent-free epoxy glass flake paint. Background Art

[0002] Glass flake paint is a high-performance anti-corrosion paint made with tiny flaky glass as an anti-corrosion filler and polymer resin and curing agent as adhesives. Because the glass flakes in the paint have a fish-scale effect, thousands of scales are staggered, forming a complex and tortuous penetration and diffusion pathway within the coating. This makes the diffusion path of the corrosive medium quite tortuous, making it difficult to reach the substrate. This greatly prolongs the diffusion path of the corrosive medium in the coating, thereby effectively delaying the corrosion of the base material by the corrosive medium. However, the amount of glass flakes used has a significant impact on the shielding properties of the coating. When used in small amounts, a multi-layer shielding effect cannot be achieved, affecting the ability to resist medium penetration. When used in large amounts, the resin content will be relatively reduced, reducing the adhesion and mechanical strength of the coating. Some existing technologies mainly use organic solvents to reduce viscosity. The organic solvent content is high, and the anti-rust fillers used contain heavy metals, which are harmful to the environment. Summary of the Invention
